Exciting new half-shafts curently in testing...

Found this post over on ModularFords and thought it might interest a few of you. As many of you know the half-shafts in the Cobra's are a weak point in the drive line. DSS came out with 2 different replacement half-shafts a few years ago (Lvl 2 & Lvl 5), but they were pretty expensive and people reported problems with them too. Appears that a collaboration between SS Chassis & Strange Engineering has produced an alternative to the stock and DSS offerings. Here are some pictures of a set which is scheduled to be installed and tested soon!

These SS/Strange halfshafts look promising - any info on the type of steel used or have they released any technical specs/info?

I wonder how they fare compared to GKN shafts....

Haven't heard any specs what-so-ever yet. I believe what we're seeing in those photos is some of the first egineering samples made for testing. I have no info on price either!

I know that GKN made the shafts for Ford which came in the 03/04 model. As far as I know though GKN doesn't make anything beefier than what came stock in the Terminator.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open and post more or updated info as I find it.

You have to admit the set in those pictures sure look pretty!
